Motivation Monday–25 Days of Fitness Day 16

16 Dec

Happy Monday!

There are only 9 days left until Christmas – are you ready?

I’m not ready at all! I have no shopping done and when people ask me what I want the only idea I have is my favorite eyeliner. Bah.

favorite part of christmas

I’m on Mission: Christmas Shopping today, but first we gotta work on our fitness challenge.

25 Days of Fitness Challenge

Day 15 was to do your plank for 20 seconds longer than day one.

I am a huge failure at life and forgot to do it yesterday!

Luckily the world didn’t end last night and I did my plank first thing this morning.

Day 16 – short exercise series.

It will only take 5 minutes and if you don’t want to do it that means you really should!

25 days of fitness day 16

I started my lil day with that plank, exercise set and a gorgeous walk.

morning walk (668x501)

Breakfast was back to basics. I will always and forever consider eggs and oatmeal a bodybuilder breakfast, but runners walkers can enjoy it too. Those fitness peeps are on to something with their ‘eat clean’ ways.

So. What is YOUR healthy living goal this week?

Mine: Eat clean snacks this week.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      That pic is gorgeous! And I love that last piece of motivation. It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of comparing ourselves to others. I know it’s something that I’ve struggled with myself.

      I just started my Christmas shopping on Sunday. I’ll probably finish this weekend.
      My healthy living goal this week is to practice eating intuitively and get to my gym on 3 days.

      Mine would be: don’t be lazy and get in those miles! Even if it’s from walking.

      I love that quote! So true. My goal is to get exercising more. I haven’t been to the yoga studio in over a month and I still have classes to use (meaning no excuse not to go).

      To not eat 7 fun size bags of M&Ms… at once… by dumping them into a jar of peanut butter and then eating them out with a spoon…

      healthy living goal: get back outside. It’s been the weird, in-between season where the snow trails aren’t groomed yet, but the roads aren’t safe to run on. I’m hoping this week will change.

      My goal: do 20mins exercise every day, and eat veggies at snack time (instead of chocolate and pastries…). We’ll see how well I do 😉

      My goal this week is to get a lot of miles in, and eat clean/detox since I’ll be in the dirty south for two and a half weeks starting next week and I have to make up for lost time while I’m there and get some delicious southern food in!

      I’m still on my plank a day kick. It has not gotten any easier since Thanksgiving, but I can hold it longer.

      Going to hold off on holiday sweets until next weekend. Gotta save those calories for the parties and remember that they’re treats, not necessarily every day foods.
